HN Jobs Scraper — Who Is Hiring, Salary, Visa & Remote
Pricing
from $1.50 / 1,000 job listings
HN jobs: /jobs board + monthly Who-is-Hiring thread via official API. Filter by remote, visa, keyword; historical months. Salary, emails, tech stack, apply links. Sheets-ready.
Job surface to scrape. 'jobs-board' = the persistent /jobs index. 'who-is-hiring' = monthly hiring threads (current + up to 24 months back). 'search' = full-text search across all HN comments. 'both' runs jobs-board + current thread.
Full-text query over all HN comments (source=search only), e.g. 'Django remote'. maxPages controls how many result pages to pull (100 per page).
Maximum number of HN listing pages to follow (each page has ~30 listings). Cap to control runtime / cost.
Hard cap on total listings returned. 0 = unlimited. Also your spend control: listings bill per returned record. Raise for multi-month pulls (one thread holds ~200-450 posts; 24 months need several thousand).
If true, follow each /jobs board item page to pull the full posting text. Thread and search rows always include full text at no extra step. Set false for title/company/date only.
Truncate each description to this many characters (0 = no truncation).
Keep only listings matching this keyword (title, company, description). Empty = no filtering. Lowers spend on targeted runs.
Push only listings never seen by previous runs (tracked in the actor's store). Empty result ends the run cleanly with no bill. Ideal for scheduled monitoring.
Who-is-hiring month as YYYY-MM (e.g. 2026-07). Empty = current month. Combine with monthsBack for multi-month pulls.
How many of the most recent monthly threads to include (thread mode only). 1 = selected month only. Each extra month adds one API call.
Scrape specific HN threads instead of auto-discovery. Full item URLs or bare IDs, one per line. Overrides month/monthsBack.
Drop postings mentioning any of these words (comma-separated). Matching is case-insensitive across title, company and description.
Keep only remote roles (remote_status == remote). Ideal for remote job seekers; lowers spend on targeted runs.
Keep only posts explicitly offering visa sponsorship. Ideal for international job seekers.
Keep only jobs with parsed salary floor at or above this annual USD number (hourly rates annualized x2080). Empty/0 = no filter. Rows without parseable salary are dropped when set.
